on the internet in either HTML or Acrobat PDF format.
For information about previous issues or to be added to the mailing list, please
write to the Eurasia Branch, IPC, at the address above.
DATABASES
The International Data Base, or IDB, is a computerized data bank containing statistical tables of
demographic and socioeconomic data for all countries of the world. Most of the data in the IDB
are obtained from censuses and surveys (population by age and sex, labor force, and population by
marital status) or from administrative records (registered births and deaths). These reported
data are entered for available years from 1950 to the present and, where
possible, data are obtained by urban/rural residence. For the demographic data, the Census
Bureau analyzes the data and produces consistent estimates of fertility, mortality, migration, and
population. Based on these analyses, component population projections are made to the year
2050 based on assumed trends in fertility, mortality, and migration.
For additional information about the data base and its availability, see the
International Data Base (IDB) information page, or
write to the Information and Research Services Branch, IPC, at the address above.
HIV/AIDS Surveillance Data Base
Since 1987, the Health Studies Branch of IPC has been compiling HIV seroprevalence information
for its HIV/AIDS Surveillance Data Base. We incorporate seroprevalence data for developing
countries obtained from the international and regional conferences on AIDS and STDs and also
regularly review all scientific literature for relevant information. Currently the HIV/AIDS Surveillance
Data Base contains about 25,000 individual data records drawn from over 3,200 publications and
presentations.
The HIV/AIDS Surveillance Data Base runs on microcomputers and is available in a
Windows version on CD-ROM or on 3 1/2 inch diskettes. For more information
about or to order the data base, write to the Health Studies Branch, IPC, at the
above address.
The HIV/AIDS Surveillance Data Base is also available for downloading via the
Internet. The address is:
http://www.census.gov/ipc/www/hivaidsn.html
MICROCOMPUTER APPLICATIONS
IPC has developed several software packages to assist in the planning, processing,
and analysis of data from censuses and surveys.
The Integrated Microcomputer Processing System (IMPS) is a primarily DOS based
system that performs the major tasks in survey and census data processing. IMPS
contains modules to perform:
- Data Entry
- Editing
- Tabulation
- Thematic Mapping
- Data Dissemination
- Variance Calculation
- Operational Control
IMPS is available for downloading from the Internet at:
http://www.census.gov/ipc/www/imps.
For more information on IMPS, contact the Methodology and Software Development
Branch, IPC, or e-mail to
imps@census.gov.
The Census and Survey Processing System (CSPro) is a Windows based system for
survey and census data processing. CSPro contains modules to perform:
- Data Entry
- Cross-Tabulation
- Thematic Mapping
CSPro is available for downloading from the Internet at:
http://www.census.gov/ipc/www/cspro.
For more information on CSPro, contact the Methodology and Software Development Branch, IPC,
or e-mail to cspro@census.gov.
The Population Analysis with Microcomputers (PAM) is a two-volume publication.
Volume I explains the concepts of the most frequently used demographic techniques
for analyzing the following topics and refers to microcomputer programs for
performing calculations:
- Age Structure
- Fertility
- Mortality
- Migration
- Geographic Distribution of the Population
- Urbanization
Volume II presents documentation for the
Population Analysis Spreadsheets (PAS) that includes
instructions, examples, and graphics. It also contains documentation for the
Rural/Urban Projection program (RUP).
Included with Volume II are diskettes containing the PAS spreadsheets in Lotus
1-2-3 and Excel formats. A diskette with the RUP program and associated files
is also included.
Cost per copy of the manual is $40 (US) plus postage and handling. Postage and
handling fees per copy are listed below. Please compute your charges and include
only your total cost on the order form attached.
Postage per manual:
- United States $5
- Canada $10
